[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the nanny world, no two jobs are the same. After you share your job description, I tell you my rates for your job. The possibilities are endless as to why I may charge you more, or less, than I charged my last job. You are free to accept, or move on. If we both agree on my rates, and then you later request to increase my work load, my rates go up. If you have a baby, and hope to retain me for infant care, it will certainly cost more than $2/hr.

As a wild example, I gave one family discounted rates because the mom barely earned more than I, and she was best friends with one of my friends. I really wanted to help her and could afford the discount for her temp job.

Mb's who require regular "TLC" can't have discounts because they want me to do double duty, and my job scope is doubled. I can accommodate a high-needs mom, but not for free.[/quote]

Everything you are saying makes sense, but it does not justify hiding your salary history.  This is part of a complete job application process, and as a professional, you should know that.  If you cannot answer a simple question, and act like you have something to hide, then I don't want or need to deal with you.[/quote]
I said,
"You may learn the nanny's former rates" for previous jobs...

Perhaps next time your reading comprehension will be better. One may hope.[/quote]
